I could see Nintendo doing a Switch 2 OLED and also a Switch 2 LCD to keep the price down so more people join Switch 2.

Or Switch 2 might be a premium product with non-detachable Joy-Cons to make room for the higher processing but they then still sell all the Switch 1 models.

Oh thank you Nintendo Switch Online. I haven’t played or even seen this and I love platformers. Instant play.

Edit. Played the first one. I like it a lot. It feels like early Kirby games but you press and hold A to float Starfy rather than spamming A to flap Kirby.

I like facts like these. It’s a different and interesting way of looking at the sales information.

@ArcadianLegend99 That’s funny. 😊

Looks great. And the open world no loading times is the future. I’m getting the demo for sure and I bet I get the game.

I just opened the app up. For me it looks like The Mystery Of Atlantis and Solar Jetman are the two games I would like to play.

Yeah. Excited for this. 😎

I’m happy with Nintendo Switch Online. I consider it me doing my bit for the future of the company as I am not a shareholder.

It’s not perfect but it has its moments. When they released Super Mario land on the Game Boy app it was amazing because Game Boy was my first console that was actually mine and I played that game a lot.

It’s also given me a chance to play old games I would not have bought on Virtual Console.

I’m just now patiently waiting for a 3DS app and New Super Mario Bros. 2.

I’m very interested in this. I really liked playing Gravity Guy on mobile and this looks to have elements of that while looking as pretty as Sky: Children Of The Light.

Can’t wait to play it.

@martynstuff Mario Pinball is pretty good. 😊

I’d love some input into Nintendo Switch Online. I love it. It’s so cool that it’s there.

I am very much waiting for 3DS games, specifically New Super Mario Bros. 2.

I’m guessing Nintendo are waiting for a bigger capacity solid state drive on Switch 2 before adding the bigger file sizes of GameCube.

I’m loving Neon White. I just got it and I’m playing it as much as possible with what little time I have. It’s grabbed me straight away. It looks really pretty and I love you can jump really high from the start.

Great game.

God I love this game. It had me hooked immediately.

A million votes for Turok 2. I absolutely LOVE that game.

@Fizza Turok runs well from the minute I was there yesterday but I couldn’t find a place to invert my looking up and down like I could in Perfect Dark so I prefer the Eshop Turok 1 for now.

@ChessboardMan Yeah. The second controls and then detach joycons and swap hands. I did this yesterday evening and got it working. I just need to change button mapping and save a preset this evening to get A and B to trigger buttons.

Alex Olney did a great video about this for Goldeneye.

Turok 1 and Perfect Dark on this app both have controls suited to using an official Switch 64 controller. I’m hoping Nintendo Life do a YouTube setup video saying instructions on how to get modern controls like the excellent one Alex did for Goldeneye on the regular Nintendo Switch Online 64 app.

This is great. Nintendo do a good job of protecting children from mature content but us adults want our games too and it looks like we are all looking forward to mature games actually being added now.

I’ve heard Zero Mission is the best way to play Metroid 1 so I’m going to love giving that a go.

What I’ve seen of Perfect Dark is good but I haven’t had time to play the 64 version much.

I LOVE Turok 2 so will start by firing up Turok 1. Playing games like this with modern controls is always a pleasure.

(I don’t want to play Metroid Prime 1 and Goldeneye with old controls any more.)

I am patiently waiting for GameCube and 3DS to come to Switch 2 so I can play my two favourite consoles and favourite 2D Mario New Super Mario Bros. 2 on the telly.

I’m sure it will happen eventually.

Wow. Great releases and thank goodness for the Nintendo Life reviews. One of these is a stinker with three out of ten and three of them are nine out of ten games.

I LOVE super Mario Land and it was great to play it again when it recently released on this Game Boy app. I can’t wait to dive into these Mega Man games.

Great article. I love you getting given a Game Boy Advance SP for free. 😎

I’m 51. For me retro means anything 2D in the arcade or SNES era of consoles or before.

It doesn’t feel right calling any 3D game retro. Maybe we can come up with another word worthy enough to use for the origins of 3D.

Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal run great on Switch. I’m very excited to see this game.

@JJtheTexan Yeah. This game is great. It really is worth the money.

Honestly this looks amazing.

We’re looking for children’s multiplayer games for the kids and the nephew. Local multiplayer Watermelon Game should be great.

It’s such an easygoing game with great music. The music is so catchy I can play it in my head right now.

Oh this looks sick. 😎

I played the original Sprint arcade machine with steering wheel back in the day and that played awesome. You could keep the steering wheel spinning so it was freewheeling and the car would take the corner perfectly.

Super Mario Land for me. I see by the vote a lot of people are.

I love the game and I’m so excited playing it on my current generation Nintendo finally.

Danny DeVito as Wario? Please. That would be wonderful.

Super Mario Land. Amazing! Thank you Nintendo.

Well that’s interesting. That’s what I’ve been waiting for because that’s the game I connected with on the original Game Boy.

Because they held it back for so long I thought they would remake it from the ground up like they did with Link’s Awakening.

@larryisaman A Nintendo World Championships game spanning multiple Nintendo consoles? That’s a good idea.

Maybe that’s the full price £50 game they are working on.

@Nintendo_Thumb I thought calling it Switch 2 was a no brainer but you have a point there with Switch 2 not sounding next generation enough.

I think it will be called Nintendo Switch 2.

There’s so many good comments here. Genuinely well done everyone. 😎

Being a child of the seventies this is the game I’m most excited about this year. What a great idea.

Sold. Probably a day one purchase. What an amazing idea for a game. It’s going to be so fun.

I’m an arcade gamer. Bite size chunk levels like this I could actively compete on a worldwide level.

Oooo. We are within a year of Switch 2 now. 😎

@Rozetta Thank you! I hope you like it. 😊

Rush Rally Origins. OhMyGod it’s awesome. It is an isometric rally game with skid physics but you can change the camera to ’helicopter chase mode’ to follow the car from the back which I like.

I’m really getting into it.

I love the Joy-Cons. They are an amazing bit of kit and so versatile. They feel good in handheld. I love them in the supplied controller attachment. The sticks feel great and the buttons might be the best Nintendo buttons ever. I LOVE that they supply dedicated up down left right buttons on the left side. I use that all the time for 2D games.

Long story short I can't wait to see how Nintendo improves on the Joy-Con. Their controllers have always been amazing.

What a fantastic article. Most everybody will suffer mental health problems at some stage in their life even if it’s for a short while and using racers as a coping mechanism sounds like it worked a treat.

I’m “Yes but not right away.” This game looks wonderful and I can’t wait to play it.

Nice game to relax to.

Holy sh*t was my first reaction. Yes! Extreme G. Now we’re talking. This one is good and the GameCube one is excellent.

Wow. Interesting list full of things I didn’t expect but now I think about it the list is pretty bang on. 😊

Wow. I remember infogrames from games in the eighties. I can’t wait to see what comes of this.

Sweet. I appreciate the bug fixed especially.

Great game, this.

@Banks Enjoy the Game Boy games! 😊

What a great article. Really interesting to read. 😎

Penny’s Big Breakaway for sure. It is awesome. I played it and loved it, saw it was getting hype and love, and then I went in to Twitch and a streamer I watch was playing it. Good times.

This game is really fun. Can confirm.
